Notes

Homemade Baking Powder is a quick and convenient alternative to store-bought baking powder for your baking needs.
Adjust the quantity as needed for your recipe. The standard ratio is 1 part baking soda to 2 parts cream of tartar, but you can make as much or as little as you require.
Use the homemade baking powder immediately in your recipes, as its leavening power may diminish over time. Enjoy the flexibility of making baking powder whenever you need it!
